Not long now – the Platinum Jubilee celebrations begin on June 2 and continue over the weekend until June 5.
Have you got a party planned?
Whether you’re planning a street party or a garden party, we have loads of Jubilee party entertainment ideas to inspire you. There’s plenty of time left to add those extra fun touches and hire party entertainers near you.
Here are our top 9 Jubilee party entertainment ideas. Everything from music to kids’ entertainment and you’ll find our all-time-best Jubilee Party songs playlist ready to click and play at the bottom of this page.
And don’t forget, whatever entertainment you need for your Jubilee celebration, we’re here to help – just fill in our request form and we’ll get our fantastically talented DJs, magicians, bubble-performers or whatever you need, to contact you direct with their quotes.
1) Bubbles and Bubble Performers
Bubble performers make everyone smile. The sight of bubbles drifting through the sunny air is just what every Jubilee party needs! You can hire a Bubble performer near you to wander around throughout your celebrations and keep everyone happy or just set up your own bubble blowing corner, with bottles of bubbles and giant bubble making materials.
2) Steel Bands
Nothing says street party like a steel band! They are the best way to create a warm and sunny atmosphere (even if the great British weather is a bit overcast…) and get everyone dancing. Hire a Steel Band for your Jubilee Party or search for other live bands to find more ideas, from Jazz bands to string quartets!
3) Giant Games
Having activities at your Jubilee street or garden party will help keep everyone entertained – why not set up some giant Jenga, Connect Four or create your own giant chess or checkers board.
4) Circus Performers
Circus performers, from jugglers and acrobats to hula hoop performers and stilt walkers, make wonderful walk-about entertainment that will bring life and colour to your Jubilee party. You can hire circus performers near you to add some fun to everyone’s day.
5) Magicians and Mind Readers
Magicians are possibly the best walk-about entertainment to get everyone involved and talking. Street parties and parties for local areas often have a real mixture of people and many of them may not have spoken before, so why not hire a Magician near you to break the ice?
6) Fireworks displays
If you’re planning a garden Jubilee party or organising an event in a local park, then Fireworks are a must. Jubilee Fireworks provide a grand finale, a real wow-factor memory-maker for adults and kids alike. Hire a firework display service near you to make your party go with a bang – just don’t forget to warn any dog-owning neighbours!
7) Treasure Hunt or Queen’s Quiz
Another lovely way to keep everyone entertained is to plan a big street or garden party treasure hunt. Hide clues or just fun Platinum Jubilee memorabilia prizes and get everyone involved in the hunt.
Or why not plan a big Queen’s Quiz, with questions about our wonderful Queen’s life or fun facts about her reign?
8) Singers and Tribute Acts
Live bands are wonderful, but may be too big or too loud for your Jubilee Celebration. You can hire a guitar singer for more mellow music that will bring just as much atmosphere or for some real fun, you could hire a tribute act or vintage singer.
9) Hire a DJ
And if you’re planning a big celebration, why not make it a real party with a DJ? When you hire a DJ you can ask them to play a huge variety of music for an event like this – from vintage classics for earlier in the day to more get-up-and-dance fun tunes into the evening.
You’ll find some great suggestions for your DJ in our Big Jubilee playlist…
